Floor time is best for baby and now you can create a natural, safe environment for your baby with My Little Zone, featuring pure fabrics and calming colors. Super cute and perfect for any nursery or common space, this play mat is cushioned and soft; allowing baby to play on the floor in comfort. The fabrics used are designed especially for baby’s delicate skin and I love how it’s machine washable as well as dryer safe! Because it’s also lightweight, traveling to grandma’s or the babysitter’s house is easy too.
I love introducing games to kids when they are young and cooperative games are perfect for the toddler age group. This Ravensburger Rainy Ranch game is a cute and fun and a great first game for a child as it grows with them. Explore multiple ways for your child to play on their own and for you to play together. The variant rules allow you to adapt the complexity of play to your child’s level. The best part is this game helps develop important skills like fine motor skills, color matching, shape recognition, following directions, and taking turns.
Check out the ultimate 4-in-1 scooter for toddlers with light up wheels! Combining four modes of walker, trolley, balance bike, and scooter, the Cooghi V4 Pro Scooter can adapt to each growth stage of your baby. You no longer need to buy multiple forms of children’s vehicles, V4 Pro does it all for you, saving you money and space in your house. It can be used by babies as young as 10 months, and it can be used up to 5 years old. The 360° wraparound fence acts as a protective barrier for your baby, providing a higher level of safety, so parents can rest assured. The toddlers scooter can assist your baby to learn to walk, training the muscles of the legs, and exercising the baby’s balance and coordination ability. The push rod allows parents to actively participate in the child’s scooter experience, can guide the direction, and enhance safety. You will reduce bending and crouching while walking your baby, reduce body pressure, and ergonomically make you feel more relaxed and comfortable. This is a great gift that will last for years!
All of our kids have loved bath time but finding safe toys can be tough. Thankfully, there are companies like MIMMO who are striving to keep our kids safe by creating new products that won’t be a danger. First off, these Playful Pals Bath Toys are made from food-grade silicone that is completely non-toxic. They are also durable, so they’ll be able to provide years of fun play. But best of all, thanks to their two-piece construction, MIMMO’s toys are super easy to drain and clean. This mean you can say good bye to mold!
I’m all about practicality when it comes to giving gifts to little ones. When it comes down to it, every baby can use some diapers and it’s hard to beat Freestyle World’s. We’ve used these diapers for a couple months now and absolutely love them. Freestyle is the first diaper brand to use a 100% tree-free core and their proprietary BambooTek core is not only the most sustainable option on the market, but also absorbs 1.5 times more moisture than other diapers! You can buy just one box or sign up for a subscription to give a gift that will keep on giving for as long as you’d like!

Have you ever considered gifting a car seat for Christmas? It’s definitely a necessity that would get used! This year, take a look at the Graco SlimFit3 LX 3-in-1 Car Seat. It is Graco’s slimmest designed car seat, as we all know that space in a vehicle is a premium. But my favorite feature about this seat is that it’s the only seat your child will ever need! This narrow all-in-one car seat grows with your child from rear-facing harness (5-40 lb) to forward-facing harness (22-65 lb) to highback booster (40-100 lb). Loaded with so many great features, it would be impossible to share them all right here. But I will note that you will absolutely love the No-Rethread Simply Safe Adjust Harness System as it allows you to adjust the height of the headrest and harness to 10 different positions with just one motion, making it easy for just the right fit every single time. This is one seat that deserves a second glance!
